A pro-Palestine Jewish activist group has had its bank account frozen in Germany for the second time in seven years, after the bank requested a full list of its members’ details in what experts believe is a breach of German law. The group suspects the move was triggered by its involvement in a forthcoming pro-Palestine conference that has attracted intense scorn from the German mainstream.

    “The biggest insult to the memory of the holocaust is not denying it but using it as an excuse to justify the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

    The Nazi spirit in Germany never went away, hence why they’re both pro-Zionist (who are the modern age Nazis) and anti-Semite.

              Thare might be civilaian casualties but that happens with any and all milltary incursions also Israel gave ample warning for pepole to leave the war zone before the fighting started i don’t think hamas gave any warning when they started bombing all what about all the casualties of the 20+years of constant missile attacks and thos who were brutly murderd by hamas

      They really have been an embarrassment. They are trying to gain penance for their sins by enabling another genocide. I’m not even sure they know what they think they are doing.

        I disagree in your theory of why.

        It seems to me they’re just racists who have never stopped being racist, hence why their support for Israel is anchored on it being “the Jewish Nation”, or in other words they support any and all action of a specific nation because of the etnicity of the people who are the majority there and rule it, which is entirelly abour race and a dictionary definition “racial descriminiation”, very much the same kind of judging and acting towards other people as in the “old days”.

        Humanitarians would’ve interiorized “Never again” as “never again should genocide be permitted to happen”, but instead at least the German elites seem to have chosen for their theatre of “Never again” to the most racist interpretation possible: “never again will our race go against this other specific race, and we should treat them as a good race, not a bad race”.

        Their way of thinking wasn’t changed, what changed was that one specific etnicity went from the list of “untermenschen” to the list of “ubermenschen”.

    “Germany” = a German bank
    “seizing money” = temporarily frozen bank account until a legal dispute is settled

      “seizing money” = temporarily frozen bank account until a legal dispute is settled

      I didn’t find this term in the text (ctrl+f). Why do you have it in quotes?

      Apart from that nowadays if a bank freezes a person’s account, it’s really hard to live/survive in many places in this world and Germany is one of them. Unless you use crypto, and not everybody does.

      “Germany” = a German bank

      Banks often freeze accounts in order to follow governmental policies, often of protesters. Meaning, one way or another this move is backed by the government.

          Oh the title. I read the article after a sneak-pick at the comment section and yours made me wonder to the point I did the ctr+f thingy.

          Well, the title has a quite different quote and that’s what makes all the difference due to the historic reference. I think if you don’t like the title, you should hate the article because of what it is describing in relation to what is happening in Germany to Jewish people, and not about how this article title is written.

          Do you deny that Jewish people suffer again on German ground, due to German policies using the argument of defending zionism?
          Do you deny that zionism is historically related to fascism?

          [edit: oops I thought I was replying to @Tarte and not @rimjob_rainer. Well the questions are for both of you or anyone who cares to answer them. Just to note that suffering is a spectrum. I am not claiming that Genocide is happening again in Germany, but people being targeted to the point of having their bank accounts frozen is a punitive measure to make people suffer]

            I only wanted to point out that it’s written in the headline. I have no opinion for myself because the topic is too complex and convoluted and I don’t know enough to take part in the discussion. I don’t deny anything you’ve written but I also can’t confirm.
